Stunning views - Street touts are quite aggressive in their sales pitch and assured us a great price but it looks much cheaper to book elsewhere! We paid $52 each. Bus to pier and back included. Boat was great and views magnificent. Bar on board. Staff all lovely. Expensive but glad I did it

I booked a tour with my... - I booked a tour with my son. When we arrived to the boarding location, we were informed the location had changed. They wanted us to drive to the new departing location, but we could not get there on time. Customer service rep said he’d provide a refund for the inconvenience, and I have not received it yet.

No show boat trip. Terrible service. - The boat didn't even show up for our pick up. Booked for a 10am boat trip and went to the location we were told to with plenty of time. Other people were waiting also and not a single boat showed up and no staff anywhere to help. I tried to phone the number provided and got no answer. A refund was requested after waiting almost an hour.

We arrived at the spot 1h... - We arrived at the spot 1h before the time given so we don’t miss the boarding. When we clicked on the directions given it said that we were on the right spot, we waited for so long in the cold and no ship came , we asked around they directed us to another ship we walked back and forth trying to find the right one until we decided to leave because it was too cold. I called for a refund because the address they put is not the right one , now they don’t want to refund me. That’s not fair to people that follow the directions given, they should update it because it’s not the first time that is happening.

Don’t go with this company - I did not had a chance to get ride, they didn’t show up and also took the money from my credit card. Now they don’t wanna refund me.
